I have a 2000 Dodge 1500 2wd with the 5.2L V8. I use a 6.5' (inside the wheels) x 12' tandem axel open trailer. After adding 4' high reinforced plywood sides this trailer weighs in at around 2,000#s I believe, but that could be wrong. I have a 48" Scag WB, a 36" Bobcat WB, and a 42" Walker. I can fit any 2/3 of these mowers on the trailer at a time with a good amount of room to spare even with a little wonder WB blower, trimmers, and backpack blowers. My truck has no problem pulling/stopping this trailer with all my equipment in it but I will say that I am ready for my third transmission at 130k miles.
